Whigg, I am not sure of the best way to clean out the rust, but here is what I have done to a few tractors. Drain all the old gas. Remove the tank. Plug the outlet. Pour a quart of lacquer thinner in, put the fill cap on and roll the tank every which way, then let it sit for about an hour with an occasional roll, this cuts the old gum loose. Then, drain out the lacquer thinner. Take your power washer, turn it up high and stick it in the fill hole and turn it every which way inside for five minutes. Drain the water and repeat the power washing until you think most all the loose rust out. Drain the water, and if there are no gas vapors present,(there should not be)immediately stick your heat gun in the fill hole, the tank will get very hot and dry completely in five minutes. This prevents flash rust. Then mix a quart of gas and 2 cycle oil, a good marine 2 cycle is good, mix it fairly oily. Pour that in the tank, and turn the tank every which way to oil the inside top to bottom. Drain that out and put it back together. Put some fresh gas in and you're good to go with a couple hours of work. Regards, Charlie
